Artec Noise Gate

I claimed the box twice, it always stopped working while playing, so I got rid of it. I suspect that the cause could be in the connection in the effects chain at the end and in front of it (toward the guitar) was the Electro-Harmonix LPB-1 box that I use for solos (jump). The increased signal could throw off or destroy some circuitry in the noise gate. If that were the case, I would expect some warning or recommendation from the manufacturer that the Artec noise gate should not be connected behind such types of boxes.
